As Milwaukee looked for a bounce-back game against the Marlins, pitching struggles and a lack of potent offense combined for an unimpressive loss.
The early drama was entertaining in itself as it seemed the Brewers might pull ahead once their offense clicked.
Brewers starter Aaron Civale fell in an early hole as he allowed three straight hits to start the second inning, including back-to-back doubles. The quick start for Miami left Civale facing a two-run deficit, but he held on for the rest of his outing to finish with a respectable 5 1⁄3 inning pitched with only those two earned runs.
